The Special Stage in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is very similar to the Special Stage in Sonic 1 - it is a rotating maze with bumpers and blocks, and a Chaos Emerald hidden somewhere on each stage.

However, it is not a direct copy. Instead of Sonic 1's gameplay, where the player moves in the maze, the player moves the maze itself, while Sonic falls constantly. The controls use the D-pad or Analog stick by default but can be assigned to motion controls in the iOS, Wii and PS3 version. In addition, there is an allotted but regainable time limit, which can be increased by hitting time balloons in the maze. Sonic will also have to collect a predetermined number of rings in parts of the stage to pass certain barriers to obtain the Chaos Emerald.
